Title

Thistle Foundation Centre of Wellbeing

Description

Come and join us at the award-winning Thistle Centre of Wellbeing building, where people are at the heart of all we do. Take a walk around the Thistle estate following the recently launched ‘Archie’s Trail’ which takes you on a trip through time from 1945 to the present. Our trail tells you all about the history of this unique conservation-status site, Thistle’s connection to royalty, our illustrious Paralympians, our connection with the beautiful Robin Chapel, and our approach to supporting people living with long term health conditions.

GLOBAL CONNECTIONS

Thistle was founded 75 years ago to support disabled veterans returning from World War II, with money raised from across the world.

ACTIVITIES

This weekend will be the first occasion for the general public to enjoy Archie’s Trail. The Robin Chapel will be having a service on Sunday afternoon, which all visitors are welcome to attend.

As part of Thistle’s anniversary celebrations, an orchard garden has been planted, which visitors will be able to access.
